Jenkins Correctional Facility Overview
Jenkins Correctional Facility is the official GDC name for the private prison at 3404 Kent Farm Drive in Millen. CoreCivic also calls it Jenkins Correctional Center. The Georgia Department of Corrections lists the facility as a private prison serving adult male felons at medium security. It opened in 2012 and is operated by CoreCivic under contract with GDC. That state-prison status is the most important fact for inmate lookup.
A person arrested yesterday in Jenkins County should not be searched first through Jenkins Correctional Facility. New arrests belong to the Jenkins County Jail and the sheriff's phone channel. A person sentenced to Georgia prison custody may later be assigned to Jenkins Correctional Facility from anywhere in the state. The facility's population is part of the state prison system, not the Jenkins County Jail population.
The official GDC Jenkins Correctional Facility page is the main source for state-prison facts.
The screenshot supports this facility page because it documents the GDC facility record, capacity, security level, and visitation framework.
Jenkins Correctional Facility Capacity
GDC lists Jenkins Correctional Facility with capacity 1,186. It is classified as medium security and serves adult male felons. Those facts describe the state prison in Millen. They should not be used as Jenkins County Jail capacity, and they should not be mixed with the May 2026 county jail count of 29 inmates.
CoreCivic's facility page lists program categories in Education, Faith, and Vocational Trades. It also states Terrence Dickerson was named warden at Jenkins Correctional Center in August 2025. Because private-prison pages can change, verify current warden and program details through GDC or CoreCivic before relying on them for a visit, mail, or family-service issue.
Lookup Jenkins Correctional Facility Inmates
Use the GDC offender search for people housed at Jenkins Correctional Facility. GDC and Georgia.gov say adult offenders can be searched by name, ID or case number, age, and identifying information. GDC warns that photographs, if available, are displayed automatically, and that information should be verified through written correspondence with Inmate Records and Information, PO Box 1529, Forsyth, GA 31029.
- Open the GDC offender search and accept any required disclaimer.
- Search by name, GDC ID, case number, or other available identifiers.
- Confirm the profile shows Jenkins Correctional Facility or the current assigned facility.
- Read the public sentence, location, and release fields with GDC's accuracy warning in mind.
- If the person is not in GDC custody, check the county jail, BOP, ICE, or court records as appropriate.
The captured GDC offender search page is the statewide locator source used for this prison.
The screenshot helps distinguish state-prison lookup from county jail lookup because it shows the GDC search entry and disclaimer area.

Visiting Jenkins Correctional Facility
GDC lists visitation on Saturdays and Sundays in two windows: 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. The facility page says dorm assignment dictates the time for inmate visitation and that regular visiting is permitted on state observed holidays. State-prison visitation is not the same as county jail visitation, and visitors may need approval, scheduling, ID, dress-code compliance, and facility clearance.
| Day | Hours | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Saturday | 8:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.; 1:30 p.m.-5:30 p.m. | State prison visitation, dorm assignment controls time. |
| Sunday | 8:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.; 1:30 p.m.-5:30 p.m. | State prison visitation, dorm assignment controls time. |
| State holidays | Regular visiting permitted | Confirm current holiday rules with GDC. |

Jenkins Correctional Intake Path
State-prison intake is different from jail booking. A person first arrested in Jenkins County is booked at the local jail and proceeds through court. If sentenced to GDC custody, that person may later be received, classified, and assigned to a prison. Jenkins Correctional Facility holds adult male felons in medium security. It does not book new street arrests for the county.
For a current county inmate who may transfer later, use the sheriff first. Once the GDC profile shows a prison assignment, use GDC offender search, GDC records, and the receiving facility's rules. Families often confuse these stages because both facilities are in Jenkins County, but the operators and lookup systems are separate.
About Jenkins Correctional Facility
Jenkins Correctional Facility's local role is unusual because a large state prison sits in the same rural county as a small sheriff-operated jail. This can make searches for Jenkins County inmates ambiguous. The prison may hold people from any Georgia county, not only Jenkins County. The county jail may hold people arrested by local agencies, state patrol, or other agencies acting in Jenkins County.
Use Jenkins County Jail for recent local arrests and use the GDC locator for sentenced state-prison custody. Use BOP or ICE only for federal or immigration custody. VINELink can help with custody notifications where data is available, but it is not a replacement for GDC or the sheriff's direct custody channel.
Note: Confirm GDC custody, visitation approval, and dorm-based visit time before traveling to Jenkins Correctional Facility.
Jenkins Correctional Programs
CoreCivic's Jenkins Correctional Center page lists program opportunities in Education, Faith, and Vocational Trades. The research did not inspect a full program catalog or eligibility policy, so program references should stay broad. Program access in a state prison can depend on classification, sentence, disciplinary status, custody level, staffing, and facility assignment. Families should ask the facility or GDC for current program availability rather than assuming every program is open to every person.
GDC family resources also matter. The GDC homepage links to family and loved-one topics such as visiting, sending money, packages, questions about loved ones, and location help. Those statewide pages are the proper starting point for current prison rules. County jail rules from Jenkins County Jail should not be applied to this state prison.
Public records for a GDC prisoner are also different from county booking records. The state offender profile can show sentence and facility information, while court records remain with the court that handled the case. If a family is trying to trace a person from arrest through sentence, the search may require Jenkins County Jail, court records, and GDC in sequence.
